How do the Mexicans view the cycle of life and death?

Answer 1

thoughts about death may vary from person to person, but as a generalization we bealive death is the eternal gift that we have to earn, we came to this life to learn and evolve, once we have reached the point where we cant not take anything else from this world, then there it will be the time when we will be ready to leave, some people reach that knowledge faster, some others take longer, some even were born with all the needed to leave.

Death is a gift, not a penalty, we bealive that once we die we are freed from hunger, pain, sickness, sorrow, a so needing body and we joyfully leave this world knowing we were able to know happyness, love, joyce and all the good things on this life.

thats why we celebrate death, we are not afraid of it, we have an ancestral tradition called "dia de los muertos" or in english would be "day of the dead" when we celebrate our deaths, cause we know they are in a better place, a place we all want to go, it is said that our beloved ones come so often during that day to visit us and be with us, this traditional day has been expanded to several places around the world, it is important to not confuse it with all saints day celebrated by catholic church in a similar date, "dia de los muertos" can be tracked way back the colonization era and the discovery of america.

long story short, death is a reward we have to earn, once we die, we will get the eternal rest.

Answer 2

The predominant religion in Mexico is Catholicism. As Catholics, Mexicans would view the cycle of life and death as a somewhat mysterious process ordained by God, by which we expiate our original sin (which was the eating of the forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve).

Answer 3

The same way Americans do. No difference. We are all humans, so it all depends on their religion. Some embrace it with open arms and some fear it.
